Your mind can only hold one thought at time, positive or negative. But if you do not deliberately hold a positive thought or emotion, a negative thought or emotion will tend to fill your mind, at least at the beginning. Negative thoughts tend to be easy as automatic, the default setting of the brain for most people.
Thinking positively actually rewires effort and determination until it becomes habitual response to life and circumstance. Fortunately, you can become a purely positive thinker through learning and practice.
The starting point of eliminating negative emotions is to understand where they come from in the first place. The good news is that no child is born with any fears or negative emotions. All fears and negative emotions must be taught to the growing child in his or her formative years. And because negative emotions are learned, they can e unlearned.
Because negative emotions are habitual ways of responding and reacting to people and situations, they can be replaced with constructive habits of responding and reacting. This is very much a matter of choice.
Most people are just about as happy as they make up their mind to be.
